Oh my goodness, I don't know! How might I find out? In webadmin I set up
proftp to use PAM authentication. Maybe I should choose "default" instead?
There are three questions in the webadmin interface concerning PAM. Here
they are:
1. Use PAM for authentication? (Yes, No, Default)
2. Authenticate using PAM service? (Yes, Default)
3. Always treat PAM as authoritative? (Yes, No, Default)

Thanks, Keary.
